To lighten the dark areas I have done the
following successfully: Use Picasa (free from
Google). Choose one photo in the dark area and
slide the "Fill Light" slider to
somewhere in the range of 20-50%. Choose (menu)
Edit/Copy all Effects. Goto the picture set,
select all the pictures and then (menu) Edit/Paste
all effects. Hit the "Save to Disk"
button above the top-right of picture set.
Restitch the enhanced photos. It lightens the dark
areas (but not the light areas) in a consistent
way across the photos so that the stitcher is
still happy. Picasa will move your original photos
to a "Originals" directory so, don't
worry, they are safe. You can even ask Picasa to
undo all edits, and things will be back to how
they were when you started. This is the perfect
type of Gigapan to benefit from this procedure.
